Systems and methods for product declaration validation are provided. Aspects include receiving, by a processor, component data for a component. Obtaining, by the processor, environmental compliance data. Obtaining, by the processor, historical component data associated with the component. Determining a risk score for the component based on a feature vector, generated by a machine learning model, comprising a plurality of features extracted from the component data, environmental compliance data, and the historical component data and presenting the risk score for the component to a user.

Product declaration validation

A method for electrically insulating a connector module mounted on a printed circuit board assembly, the method including coating a first portion of a piece of sheet metal with an insulation material, forming the piece of sheet metal into a metal frame, wherein a second portion of the piece of sheet metal not coated with the insulation material is formed into a grounding pin, assembling the connector module, wherein components of the connector module include the metal frame, a housing, and a set of external pins, and mounting the connector module on a printed circuit board to form a printed circuit board assembly, wherein the set of external pins are electrically connected to a corresponding set of vias on the printed circuit board, and the grounding pin is electrically connected to a ground on the printed circuit board.

Connector module having insulated metal frame

For a printed circuit board assembly ('PCBA') selected electronic components are highlighted on a graphic representation of the PCBA on a display of a computer system. The components are selected responsive to temperature and time limits of the selected components. Ones of the highlighted components are associated to respective temperature sensors on the PCBA. Responsive to where the one or more additional ones of the highlighted components are located on the PCBA relative to the at least one of the respective temperature sensors, one or more additional ones of the highlighted components are associated with at least one of the respective temperature sensors. The computer system receives data for respective signals indicating temperatures encountered by the respective temperature sensors when the PCBA is heated in a manufacturing process. The computer system shows whether any of the time and temperature limits were exceeded during the manufacturing process.

Technology for temperature sensitive components in thermal processing

A method for printed circuit board design of temperature sensitive components includes a scrub tool receiving a list of part numbers for electronic components of a printed circuit board assembly ('PCBA'). The scrub tool sends one or more queries for finding temperature and time limits of the electronic components to a database. A mapping tool receives a selection of one or more part numbers responsive to the one or more queries, wherein the selection is responsive to the temperature and time limits. The mapping tool sends a data structure to a physical design tool which is configured with physical design data for generating a graphic representation of the PCBA. The data structure from the mapping tool provides the received selection of one or more part numbers and configures the physical design tool to highlight components having part numbers of the selection on the PCBA graphic representation.
